The an upcoming release of Nexus OSS will have full support for Yum repositories. Sebastian Herold, with gracious support from IS24, has developed and contributed his code and time to integrate his Nexus Yum Plugin into the Nexus 2.x line. We have heard from many Nexus users, who are heading down the path of continuous […]

The way software is being developed has changed over the last ten years, it has shifted from companies developing the vast majority of their own software to a software development approach that depends on open source components that are freely available. Today, the vast majority (upwards of 90%) of Java-based applications are assembled from components. […]

Let’s talk about security. You may have seen that Sonatype released research on the security of some of the most commonly used open source components. To be honest, the results surprised me. However, now that we are aware of the realities, it’s important to be practical about this. Join me for 30 minutes at 11:00AM […]

We’re very excited about the proposed move of Hudson to the Eclipse foundation. To get the project off the right start in its new home, Sonatype has committed to donating all our Maven 3.x related work to the Hudson project. This includes the Maven 3.x integration for Hudson itself, our Eclipse integration, and our Maven […]

At Sonatype, we’re very excited about the Hudson proposal that has been posted to the Eclipse Foundation website today. We believe Hudson moving to the Eclipse Foundation is the best way forward for both the Hudson and Jenkins projects. Having Hudson at a mature OSS foundation like Eclipse gives enterprise users the confidence that Hudson […]

Two weeks ago we proposed that [Hudson plugin authors be able to use dependency injection][1] through the JSR-330 standard. This change makes it easier to write Hudson plugins without having to dig into Hudson internals, it provides greater separation between plugins and Hudson core, and it makes it much easier to test plugins without having […]

First, I’d like to address some misinformation. The use of Github itself was never an issue. It was how the original movement of the sources to Github was executed, and why, that created tension. Github is just a tool and it is a better choice for source control, at least in the short term, for […]

Today we started rolling out the first of our proposed JSR-330 Dependency Injection changes to Hudson back into the Hudson community. We’re giving it back because we think it is going to make a huge difference for Hudson’s future development. As more and more libraries move to JSR-330, we’re going to see a lot of […]

We believe that Hudson users can look forward to a long, bright future. Working with the community, Oracle and Sonatype are each putting a number of full-time engineering resources on Hudson. The Hudson lead, Winston Prakash from Oracle, is highly skilled, very thoughtful, and he cares about the community. He is also the first person to […]

Holger Staudacher, at [EclipseSource][1], has a good writeup of his experience evaluating [Tycho][0] for the [Runtime Packaging Project (RTP)][2]. Here’s an excerpt of what he has to say: Recently I played around a little with Tycho because we evaluated it for the use in the RTP project. As a test case, I decided to try […]
